anotherbend
so..... i've just turned down two jobs.. yeah even though i've alr finished the 1 wk stint at my latest job and am jobless now.. i just said farewell to 800plus plus dollars! man tt was tough... but i cant complain. im exchanging money for my freedom! why not let money buy freedom... since it works in this case.
yeah so im freeeeeeee! no more stifling 9 to 5 jobs. inane filing n heavy duty hole punching. no more pantry small talk n jamming coffee machines and having to position my head in a certain angle so i can get some sneaky shut eye.
i've certainly learnt a few stuff abt working life... like if ur a sales girl, always always smile. even if it kills you.. the next person who comes along might very well be searching for a vacuum cleaner n happen to have 299 in their pocket.
but, if ur an admin assistant.. or clerical officer (wat a dumb name) try not to smile too much.. it invokes suspicion. yeahh.. stupid right, ppl were suspicious of me at first cos i smiled. i found out cos my ex colleague asked me why i was 'always happy' n said she was disconcerted at first.. heh. yeah ppl just arent tt frenly at work.. to protect themselves. and there's always some form politics gg on.. even a poor clerical officer like me get dragged into. hehh. but my colleague frens are all essentially gd ppl lah.. n its been interesting listening to them talk abt nappy rash (if they're young mothers) or sports car engines (the young men) or exchanging ideas on how to make more money.. n where to buy the best mysterious kueys in spore.. etcetc. quite funny really..
im gonna miss working tho.. some parts of it. it
feels important. gives me the feeling that im
doing something.. when actually im not doing anything that great. just earning money. heh. i mean its great to meet adults and new ppl n stand amongst them n feel whoaa im part of this whole working thing.. but seriously, how interesting can data entry n filing be? aft a while its all the same. hell, after 5 mins n im bored.. its nice observing the ppl at work n talkg to them.. n walk into places like the city hall toilet n see tons of office women crowding the mirrors touching up on their make up n drowning themselves in perfume. hahah. quite comical. all these little experiences tog make working interesting.. n it was nice. but a good chunk of the yr has passed.. 3 whole months! and i want a change. not really a change of job.. but a whole change of lifestyle.. something different...
i want to meander through the days like an unchatered river.. n just bury myself in books n doing whatever i like as n when i please! i want to spend my time doing other things... and knowing other things.. instead of just working for money.. i'll let money work for me a bit. yay so exciting! a jobless life aft 3 months of work n 3 jobs is like an adventure. and in a months time i'll be gg to germany. its all gonna be glorious. (: life is like all about choices n its up to us to grab them n make the most of it.. its so cool. for once in my life, im totally in charge of my own life! yeahhh (:
